He was one of the most celebrated figures in the 19^th century. Now just a tad of info. The New York Evening Post was a very popular paper as were others back in the 1800s and early to mid 1900s. Television hadn’t made it into every home back then and radio was iffy. Printed info and news came through morning and evening papers. Back in the mid to late 1940s, I delivered the Greenwich (Connecticut) Evening Times after school around 5 o’clock 6 nights a week. I usually had a couple of extras, so I sold then at the Riverside, Connecticut railway station where I lived back then in the 1945-to-1960-time frame with my folks. Papers then were an expensive 5 cents. I got a weekly allowance of 50 cents so an extra dime a night put me in the top wealthy category. When I graduated from Yale in 1950 the going rate for work for a top school like that pushed $3500 a year. My first job when I got my license in 1953 for the summer was to drive a delivery truck delivering groceries for R. C. Webb Food Market, I was paid a whopping 75 cents an hour and by the end of that summer I got a raise to, believe it or not, a full One Dollar an hour. Wow, more than any kid I knew!
